Finally got some good weather to test these bullets. As I said above, accuracy was the same or better. First test was 8” of water then into soaked newspaper.original fusion had total penetration of 14” HP went 13” as can be seen in photo, original fusion expanded perfectly! HP lost a lot of...

Oh boy, don’t know how I had time to do stuff before!! Just amazes me how time flies in loading room! Yes, having fun!

Got to work on it today, drilled out ten bullets to the best of my ability. Matched hornady ftx in depth and hole diameter. Once I was done I separated them by weight then by the hole being concentric. Out of ten bullets, only four had a perfectly straight hole. Loaded them up and shot some...

That is impressive! I never came close to that reloading however, I shot thousands of rounds of federal gold metal match in .308 168 Sierra BTHP Match for work. Shot fantastic and ran some of those through the chronograph once and all five rounds were within 4 fps of each other. Thought that was...

Yes, recently retired and spending way too much time in reloading room. Reason I ask, I hunt whitetails with .338 federal and absolutely love it. I have shot many of deer with mostly 200 gn hornady SP which work really well. I have a bunch of 200 gn fusion bullets that shoot fantastic but don’t...

Thanks, photos really don’t do it justice…. Got the blank from an old stock maker in Ohio. He had a blank for sale on the net that I called on and after talking to him, he sold me this one instead that he had been saving for over ten years. Gave me a great deal on it and I kept calling him for...

Hunt with it every deer season till I get a deer…. AAA exhibition grade walnut , my dad did all the work. When I’m in the stand not seeing deer it’s enjoyable to look and enjoy my rifle….. yes it has a few dents but just adds character…..

Phenomenal buck! Hunted up there a few times but never had any snow or luck. Use to track them where I am now but gets tougher every year with people leasing and posting up property. Don’t blame them, times are just changing. Shouldn’t you be carrying a 760 or 7600 though?lol!

I have some, sent you a PM.

Sako L579 Forrester given to me by my uncle around 2000. He purchased it in early 60's as a .243 and shot the bbl out on woodchucks. Had Flaigs (anyone remember them?) put a new .243 bbl on it and I shot woodchucks for years with it. Once they leagalized rifles for deer here I put a new bbl on...

Welcome to NY…….

See, I want something affordable, available and works good on game that I can shoot all year long that doesn’t put me in the poor house. A high BC partition would be cool But wold still be expensive. I so wish Hornady would come out with a bullet to match the accuracy of the HPBT Gameking…so...

With so many bullets out there, we can always wish for more. What would you guys ask for? I am old school, don’t shoot much past 500 yards. I would love to see a Sierra 30 cal. 180 gn. HPBT Gameking. Would fit in my short mags, would be stupid accurate I’m sure And hold up better at magnum...

Have two good hunting buddies that are phenomenal deer hunters but, not gun guys. they each own only one rifle! buddy #1 has ruger m-77 tang safety in .270 has had the rifle for over 40 years. He uses only 130gn Speer BTSP and has shot over 100 deer with it. Refuses to try anything else (can’t...
